The Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL Brushless RTR Short Course RC Truck w/TSM is a more powerful and feature-rich RC truck than the Traxxas Jato 3.3 2WD Truck RTR w/TQi, TSM & Telemetry Included. The Slash 4x4 has a brushless motor that provides more speed and torque than the Jato 3.3's nitro-powered engine, as well as electronic speed control and telemetry features that are not included with the Jato. The Slash 4x4 is also better equipped for off-road driving, with four-wheel drive, adjustable suspension, and larger tires. Overall, the Slash 4x4 is the better RC truck for serious hobbyists who want more speed, power, and features than what the Jato 3.3 has to offer.
